Hola, My name is Señora Burns. I have been teaching Elementary Spanish in Troy for fifteen years. Currently, I am at Martell, Costello, and Hamilton.

Spanish was my major at Adrian College. My graduate degree is the Master in the Art of Teaching (MAT) from Wayne State University. I have traveled and worked in Mexico. My husband is from Spain, and we travel to the country at least once a year.

I hope our program is fun, and creates an interest in future Spanish and other language studies. Research indicates that childhood is the optimum time for language acquisition. Children who study another language have demonstrated many benefits academically.
